I notice in storage on my iphone 13 that Apple retains the storage of offloaded or uninstalled apps. Storage is premium space; and yet, apps removed still show.
Is it because it trails us in the App Store as "purchased" even when free or another reason?
I desire the storage for offloaded or uninstalled apps be off all the way.
iPhone 13, iOS 18
When you offload an app, the data is kept, and to keep data, it takes up memory. The only real way to not have an app take up space is to completely delete it and it's data.

Offloading an app is supposed to keep the app data on your device, so you can redownload the app and continue where you had left off for any data that had been saved.
Deleting the app will remove the app data from the device.
Why is Apple using storage for uninstalled apps?
